Andy, you should be fine using the SDK versions of the WSDL on previous versions of the product. The only issue you will run into is if you try to use a method that was introduced later than your version. This will be easily determined during your testing as the method request would immediately return a SOAP Fault indicating an unfound method.

 

 

or better yet, I'd suggest you take a look at the iControl Java assembly located in the iControl Assembly Labs page. This fully encloses the client proxy code in a similar fashion to the .Net assembly. If you go this route, you will not need to worry about compiling up the WSDL and loading up custom SSL security providers. Take a look, I guarantee, you'll find it much easeir to use. This is based on the 9.4 SDK but as I said above, it will be fully backward compatible for the methods that are on your version.
